ImpactCup

IMPACT Cup is a 48 hour challenge where teens develop ideas to solve local, regional or global issues.
As teams build out their idea, they learn the basics of launching a project and the impact their idea will have on the end-user.

EntreFund

Imagine having access to funds to test out your idea and validate your product or service? For many youth, this funding simply isn’t available (through family or otherwise) or only available in very limited quantity to a small number of people. Starting in early 2018, EntreFund will provide small microloans to those under aged 18 for just this purpose through the EntreLaunch Foundation.

Business Consulting

Have an idea but don’t know where to start? Business consulting services are also available for youth businesses to help you narrow your focus, identify your target audience and build your canvas.

Our Vision

A community of entrepreneurs working in collaboration.

Launching the next generation!

EntreLaunch is on a mission to change the world by empowering youth to
think creatively, create social impact and think outside the box. In the next
5 years, our goal is to help over 150,000 youth build a brighter future
through our global online pre-accelerator program, funding programs and entrepreneurial
education.

Our programs are designed to alleviate global youth unemployment and underemployment by offering options outside traditional career paths. Through exposure to opportunities, youth develop skills to innovate and adapt to future job markets. With 70% of jobs set to disappear in the next 2 decades, these skills are in high demand!

To further benefit our teen entrepreneurs, a microfunding program is planned for 2018.

Global Online Pre-Accelerator

Our EntreLearn program is designed to be accessible to youth worldwide regardless of geographic location. With an emphasis on social impact, this pre-accelerator will take you through the paces from idea to MVP. Choose our Pre-Accelerator PLUS option to access live mentors and additional learning. (Coming early 2018)
